Morning Workouts, To eat, or not to eat?

[jpbroschat]

I generally work out within an hour or two after I wake up (have class for the rest of the day for the most part). I typically get up, shower, take some no-xplode, and have a protein shake and a banana, saving my larger meal (bfast) for afterward...I was wondering if I should switch the two around and have my breakfast prior to workout.

Breakfast would usually look like this:

4 Egg whites
2Whole Eggs
1 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal (made with skim milk)
1 piece misc fruit
I large glass of water

I'll occasionally throw some greek yogurt and or whole wheat toast in there depending on availability

Cheers

I don't eat alot before I work out. If I do I feel like I'm gonna hurl about half way throuhgh. I keep it light...whey, carbs from fruit and a complex carb. Enough energy without feeling full.

Depends on your schedule,

if you feel drain before a workout (30 minutes), eat something light like bread & an fruit.

Play with your meal size depending on how much time between gym and your meal.

i kind of like the way you have it set up now, i hate eating alot when i first wake up

I just hate feeling weighed down when I get there, especially if I'm in a hurry or doing an expansion day with a lot of supersets etc...but at the same time I'm naturally super skinny and obviously don't want to be burning muscle while I'm working out...sort of defeats the purpose

you could but it also depends if u can hold it while workign out.. I cant workout on empty or full so i opt for a shake..

try it out and see how your body reacts
